What Is American Sex?This award-winning podcast is dedicated to changing America’s dysfunctional relationship with sex. Our sex lives are influenced by everything that makes us US--from our mental health to our relationships, politics, identity, and the shame our culture instills in us and relies on for control. Understanding how these things seep into our bedrooms makes all the kinky, pervy, weird stuff we’re secretly into seem not so weird after all. Hosts, Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg, are acclaimed Sex & BDSM Educators. They also co-created the groundbreaking Showtime Original Series, Sex with Sunny Megatron. Equal parts hilarious and informative, Sunny, Ken & their guests serve up real-talk about kink, polyamory, sexual ethics, and LGBTQIA+ subjects. From practical BDSM & sex tips to discussions about systematic repression of pleasure & sexual empowerment, each topic is approached with a lightheartedness that’s second to none. We believe Kink is Cutomizable™, education is the new punk rock, the personal is political, tinkle-your-pants laughter is an anecdote to sexual shame, and that collectively we can subvert this backward-ass system by finding power in our pleasure.

On episode 121 of American Sex
Podcast, Sydney Leathers talks about her fallout from the Anthony
Weiner sexting scandal. In what was one of the biggest political
sex scandals of the last decade Sydney was cyberbullied, hounded by
the media, isolated from family and friends, shunned by members of
the adult industry, and slut-shamed by her own therapist. She tells
us how she eventually came out on the other side and how this
incident unexpectedly improved, and perhaps even saved, her life.
We examine why we repeatedly fail to consider how power dynamics,
age, and the men themselves in sex scandals; deconstruct the common
narrative that women are evil temptresses; and reflect on what may
have been different if it happened post #MeToo. Sydney also gives
us her pick for the 2020 presidential election and tells voters
what to watch for regarding issues impacting sexual freedom and sex
work when evaluating candidates.
